Hi,
I'm installing rdseed on Mac OSX 10.9.4, to read .SEED files into SAC.
Following instructions in the README file, I am having trouble making
rdseed executable. Here's what I've done thus far.
1. Requested/Downloaded rdseed from IRIS. Unpackage the tar file-- makes
new subdirectory /rdseed5.3.1 on Desktop. I rename directory to /rdseed.
2. Currently, my /sac folder is in /usr/local. I copy the mac executable
into /usr/local/rdseed with command:
*$ cp -p rdseed.mac.x86.64 /usr/local/rdseed*
Then, when trying to run rdseed, the command isn't found. My guess is that
the $PATH to rdseed wasn't set. If so, what's the last step to set the
path, so that I can run rdseed from terminal -bash? This will be extremely
helpful, as it'll help me understand how to set up environments for future
software.
Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg-
Simple alternatives that do not require changing your system configuration:
Run rdseed as:
/usr/local/rdseed
OR
cd /usr/local
./rdseed
In the second case, placing a 'dot'-'slash' before the executable name means 'look in my current directory'.
Otherwise, rdseed needs to be placed in a directory that is found on your $PATH environment setting. Sometimes that is more trouble than its worth, but my guess is that placing rdseed in /usr/local/bin would allow it to be found.

Assuming you are just using the binary provided, follow the instructions in the README file excpet you are using the Mac binary instead of the Linux binary:
If your operating system is Windows, Mac OSX, Linux or Solaris, move the appropriate file a directory
in your path, perhaps renaming it to rdseed. For example, if your operating system is Linux and you
want to put it in /usr/local/bin, the command would be:
cp -p rdseed.rh6.linux_64 /usr/local/bin/rdseed
If you do not have a /usr/local/bin, you can put it in yourSACHOME/bin file, and if sac is in your PATH, rdseed will be as well.
